Good health is above wealth. A good name keeps its lustre in the dark. A good name is better than riches. A good name will sell itself. A good name is sooner lost than won. Kind hearts are more than coronets. Fair words break no bones. Put your trust in God, but keep your powder dry. It never rains but it pours. Debt is the worst poverty. He lives long that lives well. As old as the hills. A friend in need is a friend indeed. A friend is never known till needed. At heed one sees who his friend is. Other times, other manners. Friends are thieves of time. Think not on what you lack as much as on what you have. A fool and his money are soon parted. A fool may throw a stone into a well which a hundred wise men cannot pull out. A fool at forty is a fool indeed. A fool may ask more questions in an hour than a wise man can answer in seven years. A fool always rushes to the fore. As the fool thinks, so the bell clinks. Fools have fortune. Fools grow without watering. Fools will be fools. Fools never know when they are well. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. He who is born a fool is never cured. Fool's haste is no speed. Bad news has wings. Evil communications corrupt good manners. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. The devil knows many things because he is old. The devil is not so black as he is painted. He will never set the Thames on fire. If ifs and ans were post and pans.... If things were to be done twice all would be wise. If wishes were horses, beggars might ride. If things were to be done twice all would be -wise. If my aunt had been a man, she would have been my uncle. If there were no clouds, we should not enjoy the sun. Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind. If you throw mud enough, some of it will stick. If the mountain will not come to Mahomet, Mahomet must go to the mountain. If two men ride on a horse, one must sit behind. Don't keep a dog and bark yourself. When children stand quiet, they have done some harm. If you laugh before breakfast, you'll cry before supper. Where there's a will there's a way. Every flow must have its ebb. When three know it, all know it. If a man deceives me once, shame on him; if he deceives me twice, shame on me. If we can't as we would, we must do as we can. If you cannot have the best, make the best of what you have. If the sky falls, we shall catch larks. Better some of the pudding than none of the pie. If you want a pretence to whip a dog, say that he ate a frying-pan. If one sheep leaps over the ditch, all the rest will follow. If an ass bray at you, don't bray at him. If you run after two hares, you will catch neither. If you try to please all, you will please none. Early start makes easy stages. If the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. When in doubt do nothing. If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again. If you try to please all you will please none. If you dance you must pay the fiddler. What is worth doing is worth doing well. If you want a thing well done, do it yourself. If the cap fits, wear it. There is a time to speak and a time to be silent. Pigs grunt about everything and nothing. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Eat with pleasure, drink with measure. Tomorrow is another day.
